Senator Sherman made the bit
terest, strongest speech against the
Blair bill. He opposed it mainly
because the south will get all the
money. When he comes down to
Tennessee to speak he will get
things in mess if he doesn't mind.
All his kind down here pretend to
favor lt-purely an unmitigated,
lying pretense-and the senator
will find himself at variance with
all his political brethren and exact
ly with the American. The Amer
leans Washington correspondent
made the ludicrous announcement
last week that Senator Sherman
was coming down to take advantage
of Gov. Taylor's treachery and
would scoop up the whole democra-
cy of Tennessee with the Infamous
Blair bill. Many people who read
only the American will never know
any better than that Senator Sher-
man is a Blair bill man, and they
may infer from the dark and mystic
rious, sinful and sinuous iDsinua-
tons of that paper that Gov. Taylor
sent for Sherman especially to de-
liver over to him the democratic
party-tooth, tail and toenai.
